(1) Local newspapers feature interesting articles and photos. Front page: It's berry picking time in Alaska and this fellow is showing off his blue tongue probably eating as many as he gathers. Other news: (a) It is giant cabbage country fair time. There was a photo of a young girl with her huge cabbage at least 3-4 feet across. The women were shown in cabbage costumes, great green leafy affairs. I wish I had saved that front page. (b) Page two: Police were called for two incidents. The first involved a worker who got extremely agitated after drinking 5 (!) of those energy shots. The second was a complaint by a fellow who asked his best friend to watch his fishing gear while he was away. Upon his return the ex best friend and the gear were missing. (c) There was a front page photo of a man with his record fish that he caught. It was huge as was the man's smile. (d) Page three of the paper was shared by the Yankees and BoSox upcoming game and the troubles in Egypt.
(2) Sunrise Cafe in Cooper Landing, AK (also gasoline, lodging, RV park and gifts). Unusual menu offering. The above describes the Pig Vomit Omelet, a house favorite. It is stuffed with bacon, sausage, ham and cheese and smothered in country gravy. Disclaimer: the PVO with cause heartburn, indigestion, clogging of arteries, and high blood pressure. Note: I chose a more modest but delicious chili and cheese omelet.
(3) Homer, AK Heritage Campground right on the water with sea birds, sea otters, fisher folk, mountains, boats. It was the best of the choices here for our camper; however, it is a sobering $73/night. There were a few eagles sitting on poles and branches. We are, of course, hoping for many more sightings. There is breathtaking scenery everywhere one looks even on a rainy day such as today.
